The rear end on my XLT started making a "roaring" noise when accelerating. It only happens above 35 mph and when my foot's on the gas, as soon as I let off it stops. The previous owner installed a new $2500 transmission and sold it to me when he got tired of the truck because the engine started ticking (lifters). Could the noise be the new transmission, or the rear diff maybe? I was thinking wheel barings but it only happens when accelerating.
